Gas Price Prophesy

[G-Papi]

I think GW must have bought a CX-7.

Gas prices started going down shortly after they became available, and their gas mileage and premium requirements became a concern.

Some people think that the gas prices are tied to Bush'd approval rating and the upcoming mid-term election.

Here's your chance to be the prophet.

What do you think will happen to gas prices after the November elections?

Not only is gas down, the dow jones is on the verge of breaking a 40year record high, unemployment is as low as it's ever been in 30 years.. and despite every news media's best attempts to make bush look bad, (the NYT was even trying to find ways of how lower gas is BAD and can cause inflation.. i laughed so hard I started to cry) the economy is stronger than it's been in decades, the 15% increase in net revenue has cut back the deficite dramaticly, no one expected that..welfare use is down significantly..the republicans are doing something about immigration (albet slowly.. but you can't please everyone, no matter what)

i think it's here to last acutaly, lots of voter polls show strong republican favor, which shows that people acutaly know what's going on with the democrats, and that the "surrender now, and run" technique that they want to use with the war just isn't what most american's want... people acutally realize that the democrats in power of the house would be a very bad thing. Most importantly though, people (thank god) are starting to realize how socialist hillary really is..

GW and the republicans don't control gas prices. Did you hear Hugo Chavez say that if the U.S ever attacks Him, Oil will sell for $200 a barrell?

 

[G-Papi]

Oh, the questions are endless . . Are the gas prices being manipulated to improve the approval rating?
It doesn't cost fifty cents less than it did a month ago to stock and refine gas. Isn't this price swing all a matter of price speculation? If we were being screwed by speculators .50/gallon ago, should that make us feel better that we're not being screwed tonight?

there are a couple of groups that control the price of oil based on the same marketing prinicpals as the stock market, when natural disasters and wars happen prices go up as they anticipate a shortage.. the only problem is that not only has the war and hurricanes brought higher prices, but more third world countires are becomming more industrial, increaing global oil demand.

i don't know who's gonna win come november, however i just filled up my 8 w/ premium at $2.19 a gallon, that's prices i haven't seen in years

Gas prices...

Maybe a little of all these factor into the equation or maybe none! I heard it will get down to about $2.20 here in Illinois and stay there for awhile. I think they were training us.....now we think $2.20 is good, whereas, before we would have said that was high!! I think we got away with good gas prices for a long time in comparison to other countries.
On another note....keep your fingers crossed for me....I have a buyer trying to secure financing on my RX 8 and hope to hear something tomorrow. He's buying it for his brother who has only been in the country 2 years. He's Asian. He is using State Farm as his lender..... I never realized they did loans. Does it take a day or two to get an approval? I gave info. to his lender around 1:30pm today and have not heard if he has been approved. I am just worried....I want to get my next Mazda....preferably the CX 7 of course!!!

Preliminary results seem to say that the election won't influence prices, and that prices will go back up regardless.

That's never going to happen.

...interesting thread

To the extent that the people we elect to represent us actually do... I think prices could come down. In terms of supply & demand there are lots of things that could help.

If a republican congress would ease the EPA restrictions requiring 50 different gasoline blends across the country, to make the flow of refined products less restrictive, this could help reduce the cost per gallon. These restrictions were temporarily lifted after Katrina...

The democrats, and thereby the entire country are being held hostage by the radical enviro-weenies. They need to stop preventing new drilling in ANWR, off the East coast, off the west coast, and off of florida. It is ridiculous that the enviro-weenies are against EVERYTHING!!! You name it they OPPOSE it...mining, drilling for oil & gas, building new power plants - nuclear and other. They are even against windfarms beacause it can kill birds for cryin out loud... here in western PA, they wild turkeys are now in such numbers, that you find them dead on the road along with the dead deer!

I just saw a story this morning on the biggest natural gas find ever in Wyoming. Some small former "hicktowns" are now beginning to thrive and grow. The schools have more money than ever form the growing tax base. But some old retired amatuer astronomer is having difficulty seeing some distant galaxies, so he wrote Dick Cheney and told him its needs to stop... no kidding!

Yes, I think energy prices could be lower if certain progress could be made on this front.
